This isn't going to be an overtly negative post. I simply want to say that I think the vast majority of complaints that Destiny players are having is due to a mismanagement of expectations.
This is partially due to what I think is a glut of self-entitled, immature players, but I also think a good deal of this blame can be squarely put on Bungie. It's kind of cool how the lore and campaign is shrouded in mystery, but when it comes to major in-game events and content, I truly believe that Bungie will be better off if they give as much information to the players as possible and as early as possible. It would dramatically help in correcting player expectations. Yes, plenty will still whine over the decisions, but I think it won't be nearly as bad.
Lastly, I don't know how Bungie could be surprised by this reaction. With the information we were given about iron banner, the vast majority of the community could only come to one conclusion. When we all read "Level advantages will be enabled" we naturally compared it to PVE as that was the only place where we had experienced them up to that point. So why not give us more details ahead of time? It was marketed so hard and in such a way that led us to believe the level advantages would be significant.
If I could make one last humble suggestion, Bungie, if mistakes were made with this, I think the worst thing you guys can do is try to cover your ass and say this is exactly how you intended it. You'll gain so much more respect and loyalty from us if you simply admit it, correct it, and keep the dialogue a bit more thorough and transparent.
We've loved you, Bungie, and we really want to continue doing so!!!
